Footers Anyone?

Well the good folks at Legacy Builders are movin' out! The digging and pouring of the footers was done last week and early this week. County building inspectors were out too.  Looks like things are kickin' into high gear.   Wish I had seen the concrete truck trying to get up our hill!

First the footers are dug.

Elevated rebar is laid in the hole.

Then the cement is poured. Voila! A base for the walls to stand on!

 NEXT WEEK.....Basement walls!!

Mud vs. Gravel??

I vote GRAVEL!!  The first load went down today.

Ain't it sad what little things make us happy?  :)

 



Guess we're officially "building".

After clearing the land, digging the foundation, digging and installing the power line, installing the septic tank, and installing the temporary power pole it looks like the County is willing to recognize we have a full fledged building site under way! Building permit has been issued! YAY!

Does that mean we should expect higher property taxes soon?  Hmmmmmmm.......I wonder.  :)

Hold on to your hats......

We have a septic tank

And a power box......woohoo

And when these puddles dry up....footers here we come......please Lord!

Power Line goes in!!

Finally, after days of digging and using the heavy chipper to break granite, the power line is going into the trench.  Should be wrapped up, connected to our neighbor's box, and a temporary power pole installed by week's end.  Nothing that some extra $$$$ won't cure!

Power cable going into the trench.

Covering up the cable and regrading the road.
